What are the most common ways we alleviate stress?

alcohol

sugar

caffeine

comfort eating

drugs

exercise

smoking

prescription drugs

The above mentioned are also the most common things people are addicted to. Why is that? We are constantly bombarded with stressful situations in our life and have not been shown or taught how to naturally release stress in our lives.

The key to helping alleviate stress naturally is by understanding stress has many types of triggers. These triggers are emotions. These are the most common emotions we feel:

grief

sadness

fear

paralyzed will

anger

resentment

shame

dread

yearning

obsession

guilt

desire

Anytime we feel these emotions, it will cause a stress response. The great news is there are healthier ways to help with stress.

"I am able to help patients recognize the emotions causing their stress. Once we find exactly what emotions are holding them back, it unlocks the potential to great health, happy relationships, and success." Dr. Chris Hengesteg
